I would guess it's because he doesn't have all the information that the readers have. He sees a bunch of aliens show up and use some sort of device that weakened Maxima, and he thinks this is his chance to defeat her (or whatever it is he wants to do). He doesn't know that the device is about to run out of power, or that she'll be back to full strength as soon as it does.
